New video: Kentucky FHA manual underwriting explained. Told "no" on an FHA loan because it needs a manual underwrite? That is not a denial, it is a stricter review. In under 5 minutes I walk the whiteboard: why a file goes manual (Refer/Eligible, HUD downgrade triggers), verification of rent, the ratio limits for 620+ scores (31/43 up to 40/50), the compensating factors that get files approved, how residual income is calculated, and reserves. Declined elsewhere? Send me the scenario. Call/Text 502-905-3708 or kentuckyloan@gmail.com. Joel Lobb, EVO Mortgage.
